Maintain tea area of ​​about 8,000 hectares by 2030

People in Phia Chang village, Son Phu commune (Na Hang) take care of traditional tea varieties.

According to the plan, Tuyen Quang province will focus on promoting the potential and advantages of natural conditions, socio-economic conditions and local production traditions to develop sustainable, multi-value tea trees in the area. Create a change in awareness and action in production organization, apply technical advances in tea production, processing and consumption; synchronously apply technical processes, improve productivity and quality, ensure food safety, develop highly competitive brands, increase the income value of tea trees, develop a circular economy, exploit multi-value between tea tree development and culture, tourism and services.

By 2030, the entire province will stabilize the tea growing area at about 8,000 hectares, the average fresh tea bud yield will reach 10 tons/ha, the estimated output will reach over 70,000 tons/year; produce over 14,000 tons of finished tea/year. Localities are responsible for preserving the existing ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees, and at the same time continue to replace old, aging tea varieties with new tea varieties, specialty teas with high yield and good quality.

The tea growing area applying standards and regulations (Rainforest Alliance, GAP, organic, etc.) reached over 26%; the tea growing area granted a growing area code reached over 15%; the tea growing area applying proactive irrigation and water saving reached over 8%. 100% of tea production facilities were granted certificates of food safety eligibility according to regulations; 80% of tea products were produced in the form of cooperation and association.

Continue to innovate technology, invest in modern, synchronous equipment; apply ISO, HACCP, GMP standards, etc. to improve the quality of tea products and diversify tea products. Apply advanced quality management standards in processing; strictly control food hygiene and safety at all stages in the production and processing process, continue to build and develop the brand of Shan Tuyet Na Hang tea products with geographical indications.
